    Literally they are all around 6 minutes as well. This leads me to believe it is the standard expected behaviour at Cannes and not done kind of mark of quality. Like saying your Uber driver has 4.9 stars. That just means he doesn’t murder people.

    Reminds me of the phenomenon described here where something that is meant to be a subjective measure of quality begins getting monitored and treated as an objective measure, so people stop being honest in their subjective assessment and start thinking about what the thing “deserves”

      Can’t watch the video but I know exactly what you are describing and I wholly agree. It’s fine with me if standing ovations are just part of the tradition…but I’m tired of the headlines about it. I want to hear about the actual reviews.
